Merry Christmas @yatoholmes !! I was your Noragami Secret Santa! (Although I think you kinda figured it out haha).

I had a great time chatting with you about Noragami and instantly fell in love with the idea of Kazuma & Touma’s sibling like relationship. You made me remember how important she was to Kazuma and how having her as his mentor really shaped him to who he is today. So I decided to write a small story of Kazuma gifting her a scarf and of course the art to go with it!

Happy Holidays!! Thank you for running this event again @noragamisecretsanta !

Read the fic below or on Ao3

A Mentor’s Gift

“Which God do you think brings snow?” Touma’s voice was quiet in the fading flare of dusk as snow started to fall into the palm of her hand. She sighed and watched the snow quickly dissolve, the breath escaping her lips with a small cloud of her own.

Kazuma tilted his head at the girl, “where is this coming from I wonder?”

“Oh, well I heard someone once say how the Gods are more than just celestial beings. They’re the mountains, the sea, the skies and so much more,” she shivered and smiled sweetly, “makes you wonder what Lady Bishamon is. Don’t you?”

Kazuma honed in on the tips of reddened fingers as Touma clutched them together, huffing out a heated breath to warm them from the frosted air and the snow she couldn’t help but to collect.

“Kuraokami,” replied Kazuma.

“Huh?”

Had she forgotten what they were talking about?

“The God that brings snow, Kuraokami. Said to be a dragon that flies across the land bringing rain and snow.”

Touma looked a bit dumbfounded as her hands fell to her waist before a small smirk grew on her lips. “Alright mister big-shot, so you know a lot of things now that you're in the master’s top lineup?”

A flush of embarrassment, not from the chilled wind, appeared onto the boy’s cheek. He looked away into the dissipating sun that now hid behind the trees and the mountains. “You hear about a lot of things when you're around other gods and shinkis.”

“Well of course you do but how will I ever know that when I'm stuck being one of the most useless-" the young shinki's remorse was cut short by the wrapping of a scarf around her neck. It was a dark indigo, a color to match her own obi.

"Now, that doesn't sound like something my mentor would say."

Touma looked shocked by his words but knew all too well of his kindness and truthful statements. He was one of the few she felt like she could trust and depend on. Even if he was her underling. She tried to put on her tough face.

"I'm just surprised that Mr. Big-shot had time for me today, to come with me to the village festival and all."

"I'll always have time for you, Touma. Being a part of Bishamon’s outing team will never change that. I promise.”

She laughed brightly, stronger and more cheerful than she had for a long while. It warmed Kazuma's heart to hear the sweet giggle again.

"Kazuma,” she replied as she watched her pupil tie the scarf around her, “when the day comes that you replace that old hag as head shinki, just promise me you'll remember who helped you get there."

His chuckle was light, "I'm glad you have so much faith in me."

"Of course! You'd be much better off leading the way than that old bat!"

Kazuma wasn’t so sure about that but he had to agree about one thing. He didn’t like the elder’s poor attitude and distasteful glares she’d give him for piercing Lady Bishamon’s ear. He surely didn’t like how rude she was to Touma either for her so-called “useless” vessel form.

He did, however, like the kindness of his master towards the small girl as well as her kindness towards him.

"Touma, whatever happens, I promise I'll never forget what you've taught me." Once Kazuma finished tying up the small shinki in her new scarf the fabric quickly escaped from his cold hands. She pranced away down the lantern lit road, her tied up hair flowing along with the snow’s path. She looked back quickly with a guilty look.

“Sorry I didn’t get you anything, Kazuma.”

It only took a couple strides for him to catch up before he ruffled the top of her head as he approached, “It’s okay, having you as my mentor is a gift in itself.”’

“Hey, Hey!” She screeched as she swatted his hand away, “just because you’re taller doesn’t mean you’re older than me.”

“I mean, technically I am-” he stopped as he saw a pout take the place of her smile, he sighed. “Alright, come on, how about I treat you to some takiya.”

She nodded her head as her pout began to fade. She watched as he walked down the path in front of her, his eyes scanning for the booth to buy them both a treat.

With a timid voice she called out, “Thanks, big bro-” she bit her tongue as he looked back at her with a confused look.

She couldn’t possibly let Kazuma’s head grow too big. Not that quickly.

She smiled.

Maybe someday.

“Thanks, Kazuma.”
